Featuring a deep, cinematic single-player experience loaded with adventure and dark humor, the game delivers the series' trademark sandbox gameplay in a universe where nearly everything is destructible.

  1. It looks great, has fun characters, a load of interesting weaponry, and works nicely whether you're playing alone or with a squad. The campaign lasts long enough to feel fulfilling, and the multiplayer kept me coming back once that was complete.
  2. The extreme polish evident in the final product makes it all worthwhile. Both single- and multiplayer shine - at long last redeeming DICE for the crappy bot-fests offline players had to endure in previous games in the series. [July 2008, p.82]
  3. Bad Company's multiplayer happily checks off the expectations the series has created. [Aug 2008, p.90]

    The game have a solid singleplayer experience that ofcourse have some smaller defects as its dice first game but the multiplayer is the best there is and have been on consoles and makes the game worth playing for a long time. Expand

    I have to say that I'm not a big fan of FPS games on console, they just always feel clunky, coupled with the fact that a lot of the time enemies seem to just spawn out of nowhere *usually behind you, and the fact that you really can't die (just stick yourself, or jump to the last save), plus all the previous killed enemies stay dead, and I think that you've got a very poor game. True you can blow stuff up, but...is that it?! Come on, where are the real and true to the series Battlefield games that we know and love, not this made for console dross. Expand

    This game is awful, it takes a hole clip to kill someone and cannot control the vehicles. The destructible environments are always the same and the graphics aren't great. Get MGS4 cos this is terrible. Expand
